About The Artist:

I earned my BA in Studio Art from California State University, East Bay, and my MFA from Johnson State College in Vermont. My work has been shown in various venues in my native California, and as far afield as Florida, Vermont, Arizona, and Washington.

I am also an accomplished musician, composer and singer. I have recorded and written songs for my former bands The Trouts, The Tao Tones, and Dreamtown, each of which has a full length CD. I have a new CD of soul-inspired songs that came out in August of 2015. I'm always writing more.

I have taught elementary school music classes as well as being a private guitar and bass instructor. I performed opera in college and was active in local theater, acting in many musicals and dramas. I enjoy writing short fiction and have finished a third novel-length piece.
